Biden administration commits millions of dollars to relocate Native tribes threatened by climate change

Quinalt Tribal Land, threatened by Climate Change

The Biden administration announced Wednesday a $135 million commitment to helping to relocate Native American tribes whose homes are threatened by the effects of climate change. 

Using money from the 2021 bipartisan infrastructure law, the voluntary community-driven relocation program, led by the Department of the Interior, will assist 11 tribes with adapting to climate change — or, when necessary, moving their communities altogether. 

“As all of you know, there are tribal communities that are at risk of being washed away, washed away by superstorms, rising sea levels and wildfires raging,” President Biden said at the White House on Wednesday, speaking at his administration’s first Tribal Nations Summit, with which the announcement was timed to coincide. “It’s devastating.” 

Three coastal tribes that already are contending with flooding from rising sea levels and stronger storms are receiving grants to relocate. In Alaska, the Newtok Village and the Native Village of Napakiak, along with the Quinault Indian Nation in Washington state, are each receiving $25 million to help move their homes and businesses to higher ground. 

Biden said the funds will be used “to move, in some cases, their entire communities back to safer ground.”

This smells, doesn't it? 

I looked up the Napakiak area. There is no mention of "climate change" on Wikipedia. The Washington Post - mouthpiece of Amazon - does mention that Napakiak is in danger of erosion from the Kuskokwim River. 

So, a river rising is now climate chnage, apparently?

Let's see about the Quinalt Nation in the state of Washington.  There is no mention of Climate Change on their Tribal Nation website, nor on the Wikipedia page. However, there is mention that they own a Resort and Casino. For God's sake. We're giving Climate Kickbacks to Native Americans who are promot0ing gambling?

Let's Go Brandon!  Ten percent for the Big Guy!
